This week’s addition to our Virtual Cinema schedule showcases France’s brightest (and hardest working) star of the decade, L\u00e9a\u00a0Seydoux. In addition to being a magnetic Bond Girl this fall, she appeared in four films in last summer’s Cannes Film Festival including \u2014\u00a0The French Dispatch<\/em> \u2014 but was unable to walk the famous red carpet even once due to a bout of Covid.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Cannes movie new to our lineup today is titled France, after the character she plays, France de Meurs, a popular, often flamboyant television anchor and correspondent who hosts a nightly news show. Provocative director Bruno Dumont has made a number of films set in both contemporary and other times in France that, as NY Times critic Tony Scott accurately puts it, “vibrate with metaphysical implications.”<\/p>\n

In a tour de force performance, Seydoux embodies this complex character’s path from electric fame through a spiral of professional and personal tragedies, all the while being guided by her director’s customary obsession with \u2014 as Scott again describes \u2014 “the eruption of the divine into ordinary life.”<\/p>\n

It’s a kinetic journey, in the hands of this brave, protean “Actress of the Moment.”<\/p>\n
